Interesting Jpop in Anime

I recently became obsessed with Anime again after about one year of not watching anything (but still reading manga of course). I have Code Geass and Code Geass R2 to blame for getting me started.

First, the Macross Frontier opening features "Triangular" by Maaya Sakamoto. Maaya Sakamoto did an excellent ending for the Anime Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles with the song "Loop"

I didn't like this song too much at the beginning, but then I got addicted to it after 4 or 5 listens.

Second, it's FLOW's song "COLOR" as the opening to Code Geass


Third, it's Orange Range's song "O2" as the opening to Code Geass R2

I'm not a huge fan of Orange Range, but this song is particularly catchy

All Anime songs can be found on Gendou, so give it a try!

Blaise Plant - Call me (Appelez moi)

If you happen to listen to Blaise Plant's (from Monkey Majik) solo song Call me (Appelez moi), you might have been surprised that it's French Pop. Quite the deviation from his Jpop career, but it's an interesting listen if you've never heard French music before.

In my opinion, Blaise Plant should just stick with Monkey Majik, since Blaise Plant singing without good guitar just doesn't do it for me. If you want an example of good French music, I was recently introduced to Kyo. One of my favourite songs by them is Comment te Dire:
